Now I'm sure they will want their pound of flesh but still a decent starting salary. Very, just under the higher tax bracket, makes me wonder wtf I am not selling carrots and stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard similar, it seems that even the shop floor workers are earning good money compared to Tesco ect. a mate of mine said his Mrs quit her bus driving job to go do checkout at Aldi as the pay and benefits were better!

dufjax Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 What sites do you do? I've never ever been asked for my ECS card and only hold on to it in case I want to go back sparking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova-Security Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 He is right we are having to do the same thing get an ECS card as our white CSCS are about to expire and no longer cover our trade Quote www.nova-security.co.uk www.nsiapproved.co.uk No PMs please unless i know you or you are using this board with your proper name.

Now I can’t get CSCS either because now our industry comes under ECS. At the ripe age of 62 it’s simply not practical to do NVQ because of cost and time. Ask the ECS to book you on the City & guilds NVQ level 3 (the one they require) They won't be able to as it does not exist, currently having a argument with them, spoke to the exam bodies we have training certificates from and also Tavcom, and they are all saying that ECS cant ask for a NVQ level 3 as it hasnt existed for 5 years or more. ECS told us just to apply for the white card for security systems, pass the Health & safety exam and get a letter from our employer stating we can do the job and that's it, and will be upgraded to gold when they get their mess sorted out. BTW ECS card has the CSCS logo on it and is deemed the same. 2 Quote www.nova-security.co.uk www.nsiapproved.co.uk No PMs please unless i know you or you are using this board with your proper name.

al-yeti Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 All nonsense , except you need it on very few sites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSE Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) One of our major clients ask to see our cards for every new site we visit, during the site safety induction. Without it we’re not allowed to leave the site office grounds unaccompanied or start any form of works. Myself, I have a Gold ECS card for Security systems, although I have no qualifications on paper, other than 25 years experience. My own cars shows nothing on the reverse under qualifications, but they still issue me a Gold upon renewal.. your issue is a little odd?.
